Coordinate Plane

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin?

Back

The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of a point with positive x and negative y coordinates?

Back

A point with positive x and negative y coordinates is located in Quadrant IV.

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of a point with negative x and positive y coordinates?

Back

A point with negative x and positive y coordinates is located in Quadrant II.

Front

What is the x-coordinate in the ordered pair (3, -5)?

Back

The x-coordinate is 3.

Front

What is the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (-4, 2)?

Back

The y-coordinate is 2.

Front

What does the point (0, y) represent on the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (0, y) represents a point on the y-axis.

Front

What does the point (x, 0) represent on the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (x, 0) represents a point on the x-axis.

Front

If a point is located at (5, 3), which quadrant is it in?

Back

The point (5, 3) is in Quadrant I.
